The
town of Towcester, surrounded by the beautiful Northamptonshire
countryside, has much to offer both resident and visitor. Towcester
is the oldest town in Northamptonshire and has a long, varied and
interesting history. In recognition of this, many of the homes and
businesses that line Watling Street are Grade 2 listed, and the
whole central area is designated a conservation area. It is a town
of contrasts where the old mixes happily with the new; the lively
Watling Street, the business and commercial lifeline of the town,
lies alongside many areas of rural tranquillity. Towcester enjoys
a strong sense of community and this is evidenced by the great variety
of local clubs and societies that flourish in the town.
